Car owner Richard Childress was emphatic that NASCAR should not suspend Austin Hill after his contact wrecked Aric Almirola late in Saturday’s Xfinity race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, resulting in what Almirola described as a “vicious” hit that was “uncalled for.”
NASCAR penalized Hill five laps for reckless driving. NASCAR will review the situation this week.

After telling reporters “I ain’t going to say nothing (because) I’ll be in bigger trouble than I already am with NASCAR, period” — Childress responded to a question about if Hill should be suspended.
“Hell, no,” Childress said. “They didn’t do a damn thing to the No. 2 car (Austin Cindric). He wrecked Ty (Dillon) and admitted to it, drove him in the right rear and wrecked him at COTA. It’s who you are. We’re a blue-collar team. They give us trouble all the time.”
